It's the fun of owning a mechanical beast that's so simple compared to the new equivalents. I enjoy seeing the process you are going through. Once done, actually you're never done, you can truly take ownership of that car and enjoy it more than if that 'hazing' wasn't a ritual of getting into the club.
There are many owners out there… The car parked in the garage never used… I consider myself a steward of a classic fantastic marvelous relic - 50 years old that has to be exercised and maintained! And I do enjoy the process as well! I did the same thing to my Alpina (got stolen) and to my 911 (drove it for 18 years) And for me it is so satisfying to know pretty much every nut and bolt on the whole car! Like the girl you’re with, for the last 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, you just know her…
I do get to know her…. 😌
Any other rituals I have ahead of me?
here are 20+ years of my life…
and now trying to get this
